AAHHHHHHH!!!!!! is anybody else having a hard time putting the DIY TGD together?
I am fairly new to this, but this isnt my first pedal. I have built and rebuilt several times now, with no luck. Im wondering if i got a bad chip, but Im not sure how to test it.
I can post a pic later, but my gut shot looks exactly like the gut posted prior.

Anyways, im just curious if anybody else has had weird/ intermittent results.

If you had wired it up with the power wrong at any point, you may have ruined the chip, which would cause no sound to come out. Send me a pm or email and I can get you another one for a couple bucks.

If you getting sound (the right sound!) intermittently, then you just have a short somewhere, I think.

Anyway, more details on what exactly is going on, please : )

If you getting sound (the right sound!) intermittently, then you just have a short somewhere, I think.

Bad solder joint is usually the culprit here, but if you are shorting to ground it can sound the same.

Hello all,
I want to put a analog VU meter on the starve. Does anybody know how to go aboot that?

[MrMurderMittens]

I want to put an analog VU meter on my pedals voltage sag/starve pot. Need help!

[MrMurderMittens]

wait wait wait...got er workin'! Had to get it in the enclosure and it came alive!

Im having the same problem. Except mine is in the enclosure. I thought I might have damaged the guts some how, so I re-ordered a new board,res,caps, chip and socket(thanks Ben and Louise!). But I am getting the same results.
Sad face
All you did was place everything inside the enclosure and it worked?

wooooo for fuzz. Hey this is my first build and its freakin awesome. but i did put one of the capasitor on wrong and tried to desolder it and the pcb hole is full of solder and cant get it out. Thanks. aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[jellyfishfuzz]

I was trying to get the desolder out and fuck the solder pads came off both. Is there anything i can do or is it just fucked.

[jellyfishfuzz]

Fixed it by following the pcb to the next wire. Very easy. This pedal is the craziest shit ever. Its nuts. Fuzzy Nuts.

Just ordered one of these and super stoked about the build
Couldn't help but notice that they are all oriented sideways
any chance they can be oriented vertically with top mount jacks?

You could do that no problem. You could even put it in a 125b with top jacks.

Do you have anything to drill a blank enclosure with?

yeah drilling shouldn't be an issue
was just wondering if their was a reason that people weren't doing that

[Officer Bukowski]

Probably just because it comes with a predrilled enclosure.

If you've got a little step drill bit you're set.
